Pricing

Cost is interesting in health and rehabilitation, as high cost for surgery and surgical intervention with significant investment in both the NHS and Private hospital sector. Physical rehabilitation has significant potential for less surgery, and less surgical intervention, but has significantly less investment in both NHS and Private sector Hospitals.

Pricing in physical rehabilitation in its varying forms whether it’s a chiropractor, physiotherapist, osteopath, podiatrist, specialist massage, nutritional advice, or psychological support tends to reduce down to a specific time with a specialist.

All practices have similar overheads of rents, advertising, training, salary, websites, support staff, accounting, and relevant notes and admin etc. But, the key element with any specialist is time which is so precious.

In a NHS Environment time is extremely precious as the focus is on volume of people seen and a good time one to one with a specialist is 20mins.

In a Private Hospital setting this can be similar depending on the package of treatment but also can be longer and subsequently more expensive at patients cost.

Cost is also linked to medical interventions like any scans needed or specialist medical equipment for example shockwave or interX which are expensive to purchase and train people to use.

As a general rule prices tend to be focused on a 30 minute appointment and range from £50 to £70 depending on what treatment is been done and the specialist involved.

A breakdown of the time equates to 5mins review of treatment to date and treatment plan, 20-25 mins of treatment focus with a review and focus for next session. Some practices have multiple specialists so you can have several appointments with different people to treat your problem similar to hospitals.

All Practitioners work with a consultation to review medical history relevant to the problem and work out a treatment plan based on numerous variables, like severity of injury, time had the problem, obvious complications etc.

You are all different with your own life journey and complications along the way so it can be difficult to predict how many sessions with a particular specialist is required. However as a general rule 6 to 12 tends to be normal to gain a result in a specialist area. For example it may take 6 sessions with a chiropractor to get your body fully aligned and regular sessions as a maintenance plan every couple of months.

A full recovery is the main focus of all rehabilitation specialists, however as time is precious in a NHS or private hospital setting full recovery is not always possible due to been only allocated a certain number of sessions.

I work in a slightly different way with you. My focus is to get you not just to recover but to be able to more than you could before. I use a 5 step process and initially the focus for most of the people I work with is pain relief, then anti inflammatory relief and finally healing and recovery. To do this effectively with the level of success I have with people, I work with you for longer and blend different specialist techniques together with using medical devices to achieve a lasting result.

I have over the 9 years of working with over 2000 people have developed detailed treatment plans for specific issues. This results in a very high success rate and people fully recovered. Sessions with me are 1.5 hours long allowing me to spend more time using different specialisms to treat you effectively. This requires a commitment from you to complete all elements of the 5 step process, importantly the relevant homework, step 4, as its essential to do little and often to help with biomechanical changes.

This commitment also means that you need a package of treatment for success. Again as with all treatments you are all different so the consultation I do with you is around 45mins and is very detailed where I look at many variables and assess the level of treatment package you require. The cost to you for this consultation is £49. This is so important to the treatment process and success it requires the full 45mins.

The Packages are adapted with the treatment focus depending on what is required to best treat the injury or complaint and link to time. I have found that you tend to fall into 3 camps either more or less treatment. With that in mind Package 1 is Steps 2/3 with direct medical device treatment for 45mins on a session by session basis for £75. Package 2 is the fully flexible 5 step process 4 x 1.5 hour flexible sessions for £597 and Package 3 is the fully flexible 5 step process  8 x 1.5 flexible sessions for £997.

I also have a specialist package for post hip and knee replacement surgery which is individually tailored to the individual and requires home visits and significantly more time and input.

I am committed to getting people to recover as quickly as possible and put the time focus for them to do so. Sessions are usually once a week but can be twice a week depending on need and injury this will be addressed in the consultation.
